Cotswold villagers can’t wait to cash in on Clarkson’s pub

Villagers have enthusiastically backed Jeremy Clarkson’s plans to renovate a Cotswolds' pub despite fears over increased traffic. Clarkson, 64, paid “less than one million” for The Windmill and five acres of countryside, near the pretty village of Burford in Oxfordshire. The dilapidated wedding venue is set to be totally transformed by the Grand Tour host, complete with a new name. The disruption caused by Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shop in Chadlington has attracted some criticism from neighbours. But the inhabitants of nearby Asthall have so far given Clarkson’s big plans the benefit of the doubt.
